Mission Statement

To educate, support and empower those whose lives have been affected by Cancer by organizing and streamlining the information gathering process. Along these lines, we elevate the level of understanding of Cancer. ACF provides free, clear, independent information and direction to enable patients and their families to make smarter choices for Cancer treatment with an emphasis on dignity, functionality and cure.

Description

After giving a Cancer diagnosis, a doctor will typically give a list of treatment options, and a small window of time for you to basically tell them how you would like them to save your life. It can be incredibly overwhelming, especially for someone who might not know how and where to find the resources necessary to make that informed decision.

American Cancer Fund (ACF) is an organization dedicated to the education and support of those diagnosed with Cancer, their families and individuals needing clear and concise information on this disease. ACF is the Internet’s first and only Cancer information clearinghouse. We were founded on the notion that it should be easy to find the information you need about a cancer diagnosis. While other organizations are focusing on a cure, ACF is dedicated to all those suffering with this disease NOW.
